Description:
|
This is a copy of Dugal Campbell's 1742 'Plan of the works on the entrance of the castle of Edinbo.', at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04a, showing building works at the entrance of Edinburgh Castle, including the new walls. It was done in the Tower of London Drawing Room by Jabez Anderson, in 1799, and even includes a note from the original about a letter of Dugal Cambell's accompanying the plan. Another copy was made by John Sedley, in the Drawing Room in 1800 (at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04c). The original plan is part of a set done by Dugal Campbell to show the progress of the improvements at the castle in the 1740's, (see shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5b, with a copy at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5c, and a 1769 copy of a 1740 set of elevations at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5a).
